Hi Adrian,
this is an interesting proposition. Rather than discussing this on the architecture forum, perhaps we could have a conversation about this?

If anyone here is interested in joining that conversation, please let me know directly ([log in to unmask]) and I’ll set up a group call.

Thanks,

Paul

As this is the second time in two years that the ontology is not available for some time, I think it would be best to give hosting of this ontology into the hands of a more stable organization. I couldn't think of a better fit than DCMI. I asked on the Bibo mailing list whether it would be ok for the creators to let DCMI take over Bibo hosting and they would be ok with it.

Over time, it got more and more competition by ontologies from the library world (RDA, Bibframe etc.) and schema.org. Anyway, it is still used in several data sets (e.g. several bibliographic data sets from German library service centers). Also, it is already linked to DC terms, e.g. in specializing some of its properties (e.g. dct:contributor).
